Baji Quan

This clip is on BaJi Quan. It is different from Tai Chi as it uses powerful strokes. In fact it is the opposite of Tai Chi.

I first chance across this form from a comics book " Gang Quan Er". It glorified the form and made me curious about Baji form. I have not heard about this prior to the comic book.

It turns out that the form did exist. It is not common in the Chinese community but seems to catch the interest of Japanese. From the way the comic book describes it, Japanese seems to hold this form with high regard, of reason I have not yet known.
